The ProB model checker provides tool support for an integrated formal specification approach, which combines the classical state-based B language with the event-based process algebra CSP. In this paper, we present a developing strategy for implementing such a combined ProB specification as a concurrent Java program. A Java implementation of the combined B and CSP model has been developed using ...

We present a framework for formally proving that the composition of the behaviors of the different parts of a complex, real-time system ensures a desired global specification of the overall system. The framework is based on a simple compositional rely/guarantee circular inference rule, plus a small set of conditions concerning the integration of the different parts into a whole system. The refe...

Test development is an expensive technique. Saving the test suite for the software application by which test cases from the suite can be used for the software maintenance. We propose to develop Specification Analyser that accepts specification like statement coverage, code coverage for the generation of efficient test cases from test suite. The Specification Analyser compares the information ab...

Atomicity (or linearizability) is a commonly used consistency criterion for distributed services and objects. Although atomic object implementations are abundant, proving that algorithms achieve atomicity has turned out to be a challenging problem. In this paper, we initiate the study of systematic ways of verifying distributed implementations of atomic objects, beginning with read/write object...

Many traditional solution approaches to relationally specified decision-theoretic planning problems (e.g., those stated in the probabilistic planning domain description language, or PPDDL) ground the specification with respect to a specific instantiation of domain objects and apply a solution approach directly to the resulting ground Markov decision process (MDP). Unfortunately, the space and t...

Substantial experience with the use of formal specification languages in the design of distributed systems has shown that finding appropriate structures for formal specifications presents a serious, and often underestimated problem. Its solutions are of great importance for ensuring the quality of the various designs that need to be developed at different levels of abstraction along the design ...
